1963 Communist Goals
The following was entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong,
Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69) in 1963. |
 |
1) US acceptance of coexistence
as the only alternative to atomic war
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a
demonstration of "moral strength"
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and
regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites
6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination
7) Grant recognition of Red China, and admission of Red China to the UN.
8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's
promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under
supervision of the UN
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to
suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN
11) Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten,
demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent
armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as
easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each
other as they are now doing in the Congo)
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party
13) Do away with loyalty oaths
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the US
16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions,
by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism,
and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers
associations. Put the party line in text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or
organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial
writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic
expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good
sculpture from parks and buildings", substitute shapeless, awkward, and
meaningless forms.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to
promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art".
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them
"censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and
obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural,
and healthy".
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with
"social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for
intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch"
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the
grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and
state"
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned,
out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a
worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats
who had no concern for the "common man".
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of
American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big
picture:" Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took
over.
32) Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of
the culture - - education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health
clinics, etc.
33) Eliminate all laws or procedures, which interfere with the operation of the
Communist apparatus.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI
36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business
38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies.
Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but
psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of
gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy
divorce.
41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of
parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to
suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects
of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise
up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social
problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for
self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US can not prevent the World Court
from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court
jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over
nations and individuals alike.
